my iphone 5 is not letting me up date any of my apps how can i fix it

Hi cornelia246,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Are you getting any error messages?  What I would suggest is to close any open apps that you have on the iPhone and restart and/or reset it.  
You can also try turning cellular data off and updating one app at a time over Wi-Fi.
iOS: Force an app to close

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Now, check to make sure there are no downloads waiting in a queue:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads

If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device.
Cheers,
- Judy

  • My imac will not let me access my bank web page.  How can I fix this?  It did until about a week ago.

    I cannot open the web page for my bank using Safari, Firefox, Googl, or Yahoo.  I can see others have had this problem, what is the fix?  I have reset Safari and made sure cookies are accepted and that did not fix the problem.  The bank assures me its the computer.  Problem with that is that other banks open fine, just not the one I'm trying to open.

    I would update. You need the update for apps.

  • TS1538 I have a 1st generation iPod touch.  It will not let me connect to the iTunes store.  How can I fix this?

    We were given this iPod touch from a friend.  Here is what I have done so far.  Reset it back to factor settings.  Added my music.  Set up the wifi through my home internet.  And it keeps telling me that it cannot connect to iTunes.  Don't know what else to do.  Have tried to look on this community for answers and haven't found ones that I haven't tried yet.  I did see somewhere where there was an update for the iPod touch.  It was 4.95 on the iTunes store.  Wondered if that might help.  Don't want to pay for something that won't work.  Thanks!

  • HT4528 hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

    Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
    Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
    The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
    Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
    I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
    One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
    Thanks for your comments.

    RESOLVED!!! I logged on to my Straight Talk online account, and did a Tech Chat. They immediately gave me a direct phone number and a Reference PIN number and asked me to contact their iPhone specialty support. I called (of course the gentleman's accent was very difficult for me to understand, but managed with asking continually for clarity). He walked me through several tests, setting changes and had me get on my wifi to obtain the latest APN settings. None of his efforts worked ad it was obviously NOT my Straight Talk iPhone 5, 64GB CDMA (no SIM) - it was something with their setting on their end on my account. I was placed on hold a few times and he would come back on to have me try to get on Safari and even Google... after the 3rd on-hold, he returned and asked me to try to use my data again without the wifi turned on and BINGO it worked... I still do not have my wifi turned on and I'm still receiving texts from YESTERDAY too while I was away from wifi service. IF you come across this issue - please call Straight Talk and/or log on to your Straight Talk online account and talk to an online customer service representative and get their direct line phone number for iPhone support and have your Reference PIN number available. Good Luck

    Hi lepyykko,
    If I understand your question, you are trying to update your iPhone, but you are seeing an error message that iTunes for Windows is not installed, is that right?  The first step is to get iTunes successfully installed on your computer.  Then backup the iPhone before updating the iOS software.

    Try rebooting the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.

  • My Mac simply ignores my Iphone when I connect it with the USB cable. WHY? how Can I fix it?

    My Mac simply ignores my Iphone when I connect it with the USB cable. WHY? how Can I fix it?
    I was able to connect the first time, but after that my computer simply rejects the Iphone and nothing happens. The Iphone doesn't spin or try to reboot even! .
    WHAT to do? I got it today.

    When you say it ignores your iPhone, do you mean it does not appear in iTunes if you launch iTunes? Or it does not appear in Finder? Or does not appear in iPhoto? Or you get an error message?

    My WiFi network is connected on my PC but it would not locate the network nor be connected to my ITouch wat can I do to fix it, it did not work ever since I went out of town how can i fix it let me know soon thanks

    Try turning Wi-Fi Off/On from Settings, if it still doesn't show up try Resetting Network Settings on the iPod touch.
    You can also try unplugging the Wi-Fi router and then plugging it back in to restart it.

    When I updated to OS 5.0 my old apple id which was not an e-mail address won't work anymore, how can I fix this?

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.
